One of my favorite artists is Basquiat. I realize his lifestyle was certainly not one to be emulated, but his vision was incredible. He style is so free, so lacking in the stylistic harnesses of other current artists. (I say current because in many ways he is more current now than he was before his death). This painting (acrylic) of mine is unending. I feel I could continue the process for the rest of my life, but it must end somewhere and this is my decision. The hardest definition of an artist. When to quit.

you may intend
it never end;
would that depend
on when the ink runs out?
